Rumours and Stuff

I have a couple of thoughts to offer on the Moses re-signing.

I don't believe he is the player that is going to take us where we want to go. Too much of a downhill skier.

However, was there really a better option available? No.

Well mate, he's in prison, so maybe that's exactly what was inferred. "I knew she didn't want to have sex so I performed sex acts on her" is an admission of committing a sex crime.
It's not that simple. She may not have wanted a shag but ok with other forms of genital stimulation.

I'm not sure where this argument is coming from. The only time I've seen Penisini get absolutely destroyed defensively was against Joey Leilua, who is arguably one of the best attacking centres in the game when he wants to be. In all the other games he's handled himself well. He's not great defensively but if you'd never seen him play and only read comments on here you'd think he's an absolute passenger in defence.

I may have been a bit harsh.

What I meant was that if people are happy to drop Blake due to his defence, Penisini isn't really better right now.

Penisini has an almost 80% effective tackle rate in reserve grade. That stat doesn't tell the full story, but I suspect a centre in reserve grade is attempting a higher percentage of one-on-one tackles (which increases the chance of a miss) than one in the NRL. Obviously playing against inferior attackers too, but I suspect the biggest difference between the quality of outside backs in first grade vs reserve grade is their defence.

On the DT podcast yesterday, Buzz (so take it however you want), stated he thought he was a poor learner when it came to off the ball stuff that a fullback needs to do, and they will be putting their eggs into Cody Ramsey's basket. And since he can't really play any other position, he's gone.

You know you're in trouble when Cody Ramsey is your first choice fullback...he's awful.

Steelers have a few decent junior backs coming through, probably have decided to save cap space, additionally Duffy has always had rumoured attitude problems

Ramsey goes ok, just needs time to develop. Probably similar to us with Norman / Drown...

Peter Tunks (Yeah I know) reckons "Duffys" skills are 5/8 like. I think he said he had a bit to do with him when he was coming through. He rates him. These are the blokes Bellamy turns into great players. If The Storm lose Nico "Thor" Hynes he could be a Storm Special.

She may have, but with the information Hayne himself provided he had no way of knowing that. Consent isn't just the absence of "No".

The information he provided was that she helped him in the act of pulling her pants down which is obviously an act of consent after which she would sensibly then need to say "no, I've changed my mind stop" making it clear which it was under the old common sense law but arguably isnt under this new stupid emotional law. So stop talking utter shit.
